Definitions
- the subject matter of the present invention comprises water-containing hydrogels for the treatment of wounds.
- the healing of skin wounds is based on the skin's ability to regenerate epithelium and connective and supporting tissue.
- the regeneration itself is characterized by a complex process of interlocking cell activities that gradually advance the healing process.
- the literature describes three essential healing phases of a wound, particularly in the case of wounds with tissue loss. This includes the inflammatory (inflammatory) or exudative phase for hemostasis and wound cleaning (phase 1, cleaning phase), the proliferative phase for building granulation tissue (phase 2, granulation phase) and the differentiation phase for epithelialization and scar formation (phase 3, epithelialization phase). It has been shown that healing of the wound is particularly promoted by moist wound treatment.
- wound dressings made of various materials can be used, among other things.
- necrosis and pathological microorganisms can have a negative effect on the physiological metabolism during the wound healing process. This can often lead to local hypoxia, which can then result in further degradation of the surrounding tissue. This breakdown of the surrounding tissue can, in turn, additionally hinder wound healing, which can lead to chronic wounds.
- chronic wounds are wounds that do not heal within an expected period of 4 to 6 weeks.
- the wound is not treated optimally, scars can remain.
- the affected tissue is only impaired by the scars from a cosmetic point of view, but not in its effectiveness. Otherwise it is also possible that the scarred tissue loses its functional properties, such as its elasticity and sensitivity.
- Water-based hydrogels are successfully used as a component of wound dressings in the moist treatment of wounds. They are able to absorb exudate emerging from the wound into the gel matrix and to release moisture from the gel matrix, so that the wound is provided with an environment that promotes wound healing. Often they represent the wound contact layers of wound dressings. In the course of the time in which the wound dressings lie on the wound to be treated, the absorption capacity and the moisture release capacity are exhausted, so that the wound dressings containing a water-based hydrogel have to be changed several times until the wound has healed completely .
- a dressing change represents a critical situation for the patient because the dressing can carry away components of the wound tissue or the sensitive skin surrounding the wound that adhere to the dressing.
- a composition is advantageous which is able to bind harmful factors in the wound exudate and thus remove them from the wound tissue, as well as to concentrate components of the wound exudate that promote wound healing and thus make them available to the wound tissue in a higher concentration.
- wound dressings should be comfortable for the patient to wear and restrict the freedom of movement of the affected body parts as little as possible in order not to adversely affect the patient's adherence to therapy.
- EP630629 discloses water-containing hydrogel matrices comprising a polyurethane-polyurea copolymer and propylene glycol for wound treatment.
- WO2010 / 000450 and WO2010 / 000451 disclose foam-containing wound dressings with a water-containing hydrogel matrix comprising a polyurethane-polyurea copolymer.
- EP2338528 and EP2338529 disclose water-containing hydrogel matrices comprising a polyurea-polyurethane copolymer and propylene glycol with improved absorption or adhesive properties.
- wound healing can still be improved in the above method.
- constituent propylene glycol has been identified as disadvantageous.
- the known wound dressings can also lead to skin irritation and can still be optimized with regard to the patient's adherence to therapy.
- the aim of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art.
- the object is to provide the use of substances in the treatment of wounds which lead to improved wound healing.
- the substances or the wound care products containing these substances should be perceived by the patient as pleasant, have good tolerance for wound tissue and skin and lead to advantageous adherence to therapy.
- This wound care product should be able to be applied as required in all phases of wound healing in order to ensure the above-mentioned effect.
- a wound is usually present when the tissue connection has been severed on an outer or inner surface of the body.
- a primarily healing wound is understood to be a wound with non-gaping wound edges, which is characterized by uncomplicated healing without infection. These wounds often occur in parts of the body that are well supplied with blood. The wound edges, which are not gaping and therefore close to one another, may have been caused, for example, by a (surgical) cut. If there is no further treatment, the wound closes without complications. Further wounds are the secondary healing wounds.
- a secondary healing wound is understood to be a wound if a) there is a loss of tissue and / or b) contamination has occurred which prevents primary healing. The organism can compensate for the loss of tissue through newly formed tissue and skin. In the context of secondary wound healing, this leads to the formation of granulation tissue through to scarred replacement of the tissue gap.
- the secondary healing wound is a mechanical wound, a thermal wound, a wound caused by chemical substances or by radiation.
- Mechanical wounds can occur as a result of external violence. These include, for example, cuts, stab wounds, lacerations, bruises, abrasions, scratches, bites and gunshot wounds.
- Thermal wounds are mainly caused by strong heat or exposure to cold. These include, for example, burns, scalds, frostbite and injuries caused by electrical current.
- Chemical wounds are burns. These can be caused, for example, by acidic, alkaline, oxidizing and / or reducing substances.
- Wounds caused by radiation are also known as actinic wounds. These are triggered, for example, by ionizing radiation and can have an appearance similar to burn wounds.
- Chronic wounds can be defined as wounds whose healing process deviates from normal wound healing in one or all stages of wound healing.
- Acute, normally healing wounds can develop into a chronic wound, for example due to a wound infection, which is characterized by a delayed healing rate. The transition from an acute to a chronic wound can take place at any stage of wound healing.
- Clinically, chronic wounds are defined as wounds whose Need more than 6-8 weeks to heal, although this definition does not correctly cover all clinical pictures. Chronic wounds are more of a diagnosis based on the clinical experience of the medical staff.
- Chronic wounds arise in particular due to mechanical stress (pressure ulcers, pressure ulcers), venous insufficiency (venous leg ulcers, venous ulcers), arteriosclerotic vascular changes (arterial leg ulcers, arterial ulcers), neuropathic changes (diabetic foot syndrome, neuropathic changes Ulcers), but also as a result of autoimmune diseases, tumors (ulcerating tumors) or radiation damage during tumor therapy.
- the pressure ulcer is defined as trophic disruption of tissues (especially skin and subcutaneous tissue) with necrosis, maceration, possibly infection, caused by external (long-term) pressure with compression of vessels and local ischemia. Decubitus ulcers occur primarily when bedridden, especially on parts of the body where the skin is in direct contact with the bone, but also, for example, under ill-fitting prostheses and casts that are too tight.
- the pressure ulcer is divided into the following stages. Chronic wounds in particular are level II, level III and level IV pressure ulcers: Pressure ulcer - level I: This is a persistent, circumscribed reddening of the skin that remains even when the pressure is relieved. The reddening is sharply demarcated and can be hardened or overheated. The skin is still intact.
- Decubitus ulcer - stage II In this phase blistering and abrasion of the skin occur and thus partial loss of the skin. The epidermis up to parts of the dermis is damaged. At this stage there is a superficial wound or shallow ulcer.
- Decubitus - Stage III In this advanced stage, a loss of all skin layers can already be observed. In addition, damage to the subcutaneous tissue and possibly necrosis can be observed, which can extend to the underlying muscle tissue. Experience has shown that the necrotic tissue must first be delimited before the full extent of the tissue damage can be seen. The pressure ulcer III shows up clinically as an open, deep ulcer.
- Pressure ulcers - Stage IV In this extremely critical stage, loss of all skin layers with extensive destruction, tissue necrosis or damage to muscles, bones or supporting structures (tendons, joint capsules) is recorded. The pressure ulcer IV shows up clinically as a large, open and deep ulcer.
- the inflammatory phase usually occurs immediately after the trauma and lasts about three days. It is characterized by vascular contraction, activation of the coagulation cascade and complex immunological processes. As a rule, a fibrin network forms, which closes the wound and protects it from the outside. The release of vasoactive substances (e.g. histamine and serotonin) can cause a local inflammatory reaction.
- vasoactive substances e.g. histamine and serotonin
- the surrounding vessels can widen and the increased capillary permeability allows leukocytes to migrate to the site of inflammation. These can eliminate microorganisms and tissue necrosis. This allows the wound to be cleaned.
- the subsequent proliferation or granulation phase usually begins around the second day after the wound has formed and can last for up to 14 days, for example.
- New tissue is built up with vascular sprouting and the defect filling with granulation tissue. This is the basic requirement for the subsequent epithelialization.
- Fibroblasts from the surrounding tissue can migrate into the fibrin network and use it as a temporary matrix.
- the build-up of collagen fibers begins.
- the fibrin structure can be broken down by the enzyme plasmin by means of fibrinolysis.
